Sorry, this chapter has taken so long to get up. To be honest, I'm losing interest for this story and it doesn't help that I have two accounts either.

This was a Jeff and Tamzin prompt, prompted by Gabriella Somerfeld. This is set during the crash where Jeff lost his life. I watched "The Last Call" while writing this, probably wasn't a good idea as I cried. :(

For this chapter, Big Mac is a paramedic, as Iain hasn't returned yet.

Don't know why I'm writing at almost 4 in the morning. I guess that is what happens when you wake up.

Sorry, if I've missed any prompts, just get the feeling I might have. I did have a list, so I do have a a quick idea at what I've still got to write.

I'd almost forgot about Tamzin's baby (which she gave birth to in an earlier prompt, after almost marrying Dave ) so baby Holly is mentioned here.

Did everyone enjoy Saturdays ep? I did. I even felt sorry for Connie and that's something I never do. Didn't like Rita Saturday and she's one of my fave characters, along with Zoe. Thought it was sweet of Ethan to give Cal his room back in Ethan's flat, it just shows that the brothers are there for each other.


The Secret Life Of Casualty

Chapter 69

Life for a paramedic went on, regardless of what had happened during a shift. So, Jeff Coilor was not concerned when his wife Dixie received a call to say that their own doctors had been involved in an RTC and he and Dixie were the paramedics that were on call. They put the blue sirens on so that other drivers knew that this was an emergency. They drove until they got to the crash site.

"Oh, God " Dixie said, as she took the scene that was playing out in front of her. The van which consalaunt Connie had borrowed from the trust, had collided with someone's Land Rover and then it had rolled down a muddy hill.

There were groans of pain coming from the staff that were trapped in the car, each of them wanting to get out.

Connie looked at her team. She had hurt her wrist and had blood trickling down her face.

Lily had dislocated her shoulder and her shoulder, was treated at the scene, with entonox and Dixie had put it in a sling and had got Ethan out. They were sent to the hospital to be looked over. Cal performed emergency surgery on his brother, who was kept in for observation. Rita had offered to drive Lily home as she couldn't drive, Lily had agreed and they got in to Rita's car. She gave her directions to the house.

The only person, left in there was Ash, and he risked bleeding to death, they needed to get him out and fast.

"Jeff!" Dixie screamed as the car burst in to flames with her husband inside. She watched with horror. The flames were put out and another crew were called.

Dixie had thought he was dead, so it was with relief that she saw that he wasn't. He was badly burnt, and unconscious, he would probably need skin graphs, but he was alive. They got him on to a board and put a collar round his neck and lifted the stretcher in to the ambulance in to a stretcher and Dixie stayed with him while Big Mac drove the ambulance, back to the hospital, parking in the ambulance bay. Dixie opened the back

"This is Jeff Coilor, 47, involved in an RTC, BP 60/ 90. GCS 2. Sats 87%

Dixie and Tamzin were the two constant visitors by Jeff's bedside as they waited for him to wake up. Zoe was in charge of his care and treatment and over the past few days, she'd been bringing Jeff out of the coma to see if there was any change in his condition.

"Jeff" Tamzin whispered as he seemed to wake up from the coma.

"Who are you?" Jeff asked.

Tamzin let out a strangled sob as she rushed from the room and right past Dixie, who was getting a coffee. "Tams?" She asked, not getting an answer. She followed the younger paramedic outside where she found her leaning against the wall.

"Jeff's awake" Tamzin told Dixie.

"Well, that's a good thing?" She asked, taking a sip of her coffee. She struggled to understand how Jeff waking up was a bad thing.

Tamzin sniffed. Dixie passed her a tissue.

Jeff had suffered memory loss. He'd forgotten he had children. He'd forgotten he'd married Dixie as a promise to her dying father. It had taken Tamzin and Dixie weeks and a lot of patience to help Jeff get back on his feet.

Jeff was back at work. He'd promised to take it easy. While cleaning one of the ambulances he'd told Dixie that he planned to propose to Tamzin and for that to happen, he would need a divorce from Dixie. She agreed to divorce him and got on to her solicitor who had agreed to start the divorce proceedings. Divorce papers arrived a few weeks, later, all Dixie had to do was sign them. Signing them meant no coming home to Jeff, maybe finding a new place to live, if he decided to move Tamzin in with him

He'd asked Dixie's advice for buying Tamzin's engagement ring and picked out a gold ring which he was going to present her with in the ED which Dixie would have to witness. She was happy for Jeff, but knew her marriage to him, although, legal, wasn't going to last forever. He or even she was, bound to move on sooner or later.

Tamzin had no idea that Jeff was planning to propose to her. She had a crush on him, which she'd not told him about. But she shared a baby with him, she'd gone in to premature labour on her wedding day to ex - fiancé, Dave, which hadn't happened. Baby Holly was born and a DNA test revealed Jeff was the father. Holly lived with her mother on a flat on the Farmead Estate. But the one bedroomed flat was far too small for the 30 - year - old - paramedic and her daughter.

Tamzin, after dropping Holly off, at the childminders, headed in to work. She walked in to the rec room where Dixie was completing paperwork. Dixie looked up.

"how's Jeff?" Tamzin asked.

Dixie just smiled, not letting on that she knew about Jeff's plans for the younger paramedic.

Then, they got a call out to a patient, who had fallen down the stairs.

It was time for Tamzin's break, Dixie had done the rotas so that Tamzin could be on the same break as Jeff, who was making sure that the ring was where he had leftt it, in his locker. He got the ring out of his locker and headed towards reception where Tamzin was laughing with Robyn, the first laugh she'd shared since Jeff woke.

"Tamzin?" Jeff cleared his throat as the doctors and nurses stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Tamzin turned around.

"Jeff?" She questioned.

"Will you marry me?" He asked

Tamzin nodded her reply as she wrapped her arms around him tightly. The docs and nurses cheered for them as he put the ring on her finger. Now, it was time to plan their wedding.
